The renowned news agency "Avesta" from Tajikistan has published an article authored by Dr. Lola Saidova, the Chief Scientist at the Institute for Strategic and Interregional Studies under the President. The article about "Uzbekistan's Gender-Oriented Social Policy" discusses the nation's commitment to constructing a social welfare state that safeguards people's rights, supports citizens' well-being, and promotes gender equality.
According to "Dunyo", modern Uzbekistan is dedicated to establishing a social welfare state that prioritizes safeguarding and advocating for the rights of its citizens, particularly women, within the framework of national development. The article highlights the substantial attention the country places on enhancing the role of women across various aspects of society, given that women constitute half of the nation's 35mn population.
The article underscores the significance of ensuring women's rights, advancing their economic, social, and political engagement, guaranteeing health and education, creating employment prospects, encouraging entrepreneurial endeavors, delivering social assistance, and achieving gender parity. This approach is exemplified by the "National Program to Enhance Women's Participation in All Spheres of Economic, Political, and Social Life for 2022-2026," which was adopted in 2022.
This program has led to the employment of around 878,000 women throughout the country in 2022 and more than 230,000 women this year. The efforts also extend to involving young women in rural regions in family and private entrepreneurship as well as crafts.
The article concludes by emphasizing Uzbekistan's unique approach to women's social protection and the comprehensive measures taken to bolster women's potential, elevate living conditions, offer employment opportunities, and enhance the well-being of vulnerable population segments. These endeavors contribute to the overall augmentation of income and human capital across the society.
